As I Said, Unions Are Businesses
Apropos of a secondary theme from my post, this morning, here’s Chriss Street, on Breitbart, reviewing a book by union stalwart and socialist Steve Early:
Early argues the “much expanded role of union staff experts, personnel managers, and outside arbiters” was never downsized as union membership dramatically declined. Early highlights the U.S. ratio of “union officialdom” is now over five times greater than Sweden’s and six times greater than Britain’s. He blames union bosses for spiking dues to protect their own dwindling empires as contributing to declining membership.
That’s a lot of incentive for union organizers to expand their ranks by any means necessary.
